Happy 1 year anniversary! ... baby on board :)

Sunday was mine and Tommy's 1 year anniversary! crazy huh!! it seems like yesterday everyone came to our reception and watched my mom get crazy and throw her clothes on people! :) Well we celebrated it Saturday and to celebrate we ate dinner at Monti's...yum!!! then spent the night at the same hotel we did our wedding night. ( we also saw seven pounds, AMAZING!!!) But it was a very fun year and a very nice evening with my husband!

As for the baby on board part..... NO, im not pregnant! :( We were talking about kids one night and since I am a woman, I of course said when he's ready I would not be opposed becuase of course I want a baby! Well... Saturday he had my car for half the day then decided to switch me at my work. He took me outside to my car with my eyes closed and revealed my decorated car to me. Cute?? not really! All the windows had shoe polish on them that said things like Hurray, baby on board, congrats mommy, welcome to earth! and in my backseat... a carseat With a baby doll in it WITH a bib that says I love my mom With a bottle AND a baby balloon! How mean is my husband!!! He thinks he's pretty funny!!! as you can all guess though, I didn't think it was too funny :(

Me and my "baby" ...hints the frownie face!

Christmas 2008

Christmas this year was very fun and hectic! It being the first year of marriage, we of course tried to juggle both sides of the family..which isn't as easy as you think it would be! :) We had our Jennings family get together Tuesday night, then spent christmas eve at my parents where my mom made yummy brocolli soup and bread bowls! Then we spent Christmas morning with my family and then went to grandma and pa knights for the biscuits & gravy get together :) it was delicious as always! Then it was off to the Merrill's for some family fun as well! We were so glad to spend so much time together with family this holiday season! We love all of you!!

Knight bowling

Bowling has always been a competitve sport within our family. Especially between mom and dad! Well then Melanie decided she was the best..then Gabe thought HE was the best... and now Brian thinks HE is the best... so we had to test it out! We went bowling twice while Mel and the boys were here and I have to say, things got a little ugly! :) I wont name names... (MELANIE!!!) ... he he.. the fist go around, Mom whooped us all! Then the second go around I think Brian took the cake, maybe Gabe. I dont remember! oh well! anyway, it was a lot of fun.. and to prove what a bunch of dorks my family really is, enjoy the pics!

camping!

So some of our good friends Chase and Nicole and us decided to go camping! Tommy had not been camping since he got hom from his mission, and I dont remember the last time I went either. So us and Ched, and them and Fiona and Lilly loaded up and took a quick weekend camp trip! It was so much fun! Except it rained all night! :) It didnt start till after we all got in bed but still, all our stuff got soaked!!! But besides that, we had lots of fun with you guys and need to do it again soon!!

anyone?

Yes I have once again been a slacker on my blog.. kudos to mom for not being like the rest of us! here's a little update on our life... we are buying a house! yay! Its out in Queen Creek with the rest of my crazy sisters! If everything goes through we should close on Jan 9th..woo hoo! I am still working at Gunnells, and Tommy is working for Town of Queen creek. Life is good :) well.. I am wanting to do something different. Once we move into our house, Gunnells will just be too far for me to drive everyday. I want to be home more and be able to housewife/stay-at-home mom stuff without the mom part yet... :) make sense?! So I was thinking just like all my sisters have done, maybe I would try daycare! Probably only a couple kids to get my feet wet and all, but thats where all of you come in! I need to find kids to watch first :) So if anyone knows anyone looking for someone to watch their kids please let me know or give them my name and we can work something out!! Thanks :) new posts to come soon too!...promise!!

puppies puppies EVERYWHERE!

Well... as you all know, we have our little baby Chedder ...not so little anymore! :( ... He is so fun and getting so big it makes me sad! Well our good friends Chase and Nicole (chase also tommys cousin) got the puppy itch as well and got a little girl boxer named Princess Fiona, aka Fiona! She is so cute and quite the spunky little thing. Well a couple weeks later, they got another! Her name is Lilly Pad, aka Lilly..and sister to Fiona! So of course, we have to have play dates for the dogs! They are all so funny together! Well the other day they were out at the house and all were in the backyard...and we all came downstairs to find this....

pathetic right?! :) but so cute!!!
